Chapter 934 - The Kang Wood Medicated Bath

“Sigh, I’m just feeling weak all over, and my head doesn’t feel good either,” the old man said. “I contracted a serious illness this past summer. Since then, my body has not been in good health. A co-worker, who I frequently take walks with, mentioned this medicine to me. He said that he tried it and the effect is good. He recommended that I try it, but I couldn’t find it after going to several drugstores.”
He didn’t live around this area. After hearing his friend’s recommendation, he had gone to the drugstores near his home to inquire about it. He had gone to two or three drugstores and couldn’t find that specific medicine, so he got a taxi and went to the clinic.
Pan Mei thought, It’s no wonder that he doesn’t look familiar.
Generally, the people who went to her clinic were older people who lived nearby. Of course, there were those from other places, but they were the minority.
“Just a moment. I’ll go get it for you.”
Pan Mei retrieved two bottles of medicine for the old man.
“Does this medicine work?” the old man asked.
“Its main effect is to nourish the body,” Pan Mei replied with a smile. “Recently, several older people have come to get this medicine. They’ve all said that the effect is good after taking it.” She was just telling the truth. In the past couple of days, there had been six or seven elderly people coming to buy this medicine.
“That’s good.” Since there had been others praising it, the old man felt a sense of security in his heart. It was honestly just a bottle of medicine, and a tonic medicine at that.
This medicine sells well. Should I import more?
She had those thoughts, but Zheng Weijun, who had just returned from a long trip, didn’t have the same thoughts. He had used his relationships to sell the first batch of Primordial Spirit Soup. Upon his return, he had discussed it with Wang Yao before arranging for the second batch of production, which was quickly finished. It was now piled up in the warehouse. Since customers hadn’t called them to place more orders, it meant that the first batch of drugs hadn’t been sold out. He was clear where the problem was.
He softly sighed and thought, These people!
He didn’t have a choice. The situation required overpowering the people.
He was not the one wielding the power now.
Dao had given him a big surprise. It was said that the sales situation was good there and they were going to ask for a second batch of goods. This was all thanks to the efforts of the Sun family. In fact, this was just a matter of a word for them. After all, they had a considerable amount of influence in Dao. As long as they passed a message to the main hospitals, the people there were more than willing to pay this favor from them.
What should we do next?
He sat in front of the window and brainstormed. He didn’t turn off the lights to rest until midnight.
The next day, the sun was brightly shining.
There were many people in the clinic. This cold wave had caused many people to come down with colds and fevers. There were several patients from the village, many of them were old people with poor immune systems. It was easy to treat these people. Most of them could be treated with a few doses of medicine.
Toward the afternoon, after treating the last patient, Wang Yao heard a voice.
[The host possesses the requirements to upgrade. Do you wish to upgrade?]
The long-lost voice had sounded again.
[Upgrade]
[Character Level: Level 10]
[Professional level: Pharmacist (You live up to the title “teacher.”)]
The reward this time was not a package of seeds. It was a small sapling.
Kang Wood.
It was a top-grade magic herb.
This was a woody plant with purple leaves and tiny silver hairs. It grew one foot every 10 years and 10 feet in 30 years. Its fruit looked like a combination of peaches and plums. It could be used to protect the five essential internal organs, lighten the body, and grant everlasting youthfulness. Its leaves could eliminate all kinds of evil spirits and diseases in the intestines and stomach.
Top-grade material!
Wang Yao was very surprised. This was the first time that he had seen a top-grade magic herb. Just the medicinal power of lightening the body and granting everlasting youthfulness was incredible.
There was another important point. This time, he had chosen medicine.
He received a medical skill.
Medicinal bath!
The mechanism of a medicinal bath was that the medicine acts through seeping through the surface of the whole body, parts of the body, and the affected area. The medicine would be absorbed and circulated throughout the meridians and blood vessels, reaching the internal organs from the outside to the inside, thus producing an effect. A medicinal bath could dredge channels and meridians, promote blood circulation, remove stasis, dispel wind and cold, clear heat, detoxify the body, reduce swelling, relieve pain, adjust the Yin and Yang, coordinate the functions of the internal organs, allow Qi and blood to flow smoothly, nourish the whole body, and other health effects.
Taking medicine worked from the inside out while taking a medicinal bath worked from the outside in.
Of course, this medical technique was by no means as simple and superficial as the medicinal bath on the market. There were many mysteries related to it. The combination of treatments from both inside and outside the body was often necessary and was an invincible treatment.
Not bad, not bad! Wang Yao closed his eyes for a while. It was not the first time he had gained knowledge by having it fill his mind. He was long used to it.
When he arrived home at noon, his mother had a large meal prepared.
“Wow, it’s so plentiful,” Wang Yao said. “Are we expecting guests today?”
“Your third uncle said that he would come to visit,” his mother said.
“Does he have something to ask of us?” Wang Yao asked.
Neither of his two uncles lived peacefully. They were masters of trouble. They left good jobs and only focused on how to make a fortune.
“I don’t know,” Zhang Xiuying replied.
When the food was ready, Wang Yao opened a bottle of wine. After waiting for a long time, when the food had almost gone cold, his third uncle finally arrived.
“Why are you so late?” Wang Yao’s father was a little unhappy. He was the eldest brother, and there was no such thing as an elder waiting for someone younger.
“Oh, something delayed me on the way here,” Wang Yao’s third uncle replied.
“Let’s eat.”
After sitting down, Wang Yao poured him a glass of wine. The family began to eat.
While eating, Wang Yao’s father asked his brother how he was doing. He instantly began to complain. He didn’t have enough money. The house, which he had just bought and paid off the mortgage, needed to be renovated. Finally, he explained his true intentions for visiting. It was to borrow money.
“How much do you want to borrow?” Wang Fenghua asked.
“Well, $100,000.”
“$100,000?” Zhang Xiuying was not happy upon hearing the amount.
He has the cheek to ask for that!
He had abandoned a perfectly fine job and resigned from it. He became a bum who didn’t work all day long. Her son had helped him find a job in an office, which was mostly idle worked. She had also asked her son about the salary. It was more than $4,000 a month. It was considered a middle-upper salary in a small county like theirs. Those who worked hard all day in a factory didn’t make that much money in a month. The company had given him the job on account of Wang Yao’s face. Now, he was crying to them about life again. She felt anger bubbling in her just from listening to him.
“Well, it has to be renovated.”
“What house needs $100,000 for a renovation?” Wang Fenghua asked.
Their small county town was not like those first- or second-tiered big cities. In fact, the general decoration and renovation contracts could be secured at about $50,000.
Wang Yao didn’t talk much while they were eating. Although this third uncle was his elder, he didn’t like him. He was even a little bored and frustrated with him. He didn’t behave like an elder at all. He was already in his 40s, but he didn’t have any sense of responsibility. He only knew how to blame others and the heavens all day long. This was the time when a man should be rich and powerful. According to the principle, he should have accumulated some work and social experiences. With the accumulation of abilities, it should have been the best time of his life. Unfortunately, his third uncle was a person with nothing. He was not particularly good at anything. This was not the first time he had come to their house to borrow money. Two months ago, he borrowed $50.000. He promised that he would return it before the new year. Instead, it turned into the current situation. There was no sign of him returning the money, and he wanted to borrow more money, which was an astonishing $100,000.
Wang Yao had money. Even a million was not a problem for him, let alone $100,000. Although it was an ugly thought, he would rather do charity and donate it to children in poor mountain areas than lend it to a relative like this. At least those children in the poor mountain areas knew how to be grateful and repay their debts. These relatives of his were typical white-eyed wolves that couldn’t be satisfied.
“In July, didn’t we already lend you $50000?” Wang Fenghua asked. “At that time, you told us that it was also used to renovate your house.”
“It was not enough,” Wang Yao’s third uncle said with a smile.
“It’s not enough. You still lack a hundred thousand. What do you want your house to look like?” Wang Fenghua didn’t care about the unnatural embarrassment on his third brother’s face. It was as if he didn’t see it at all.
For a while, Wang Yao’s third uncle didn’t know how to answer.
“Have you picked up any bad habits?” Wang Fenghua asked.
“Of course not.”
“Your heart is racing, and your eyes are blinking unnaturally. You do not dare to face me. There is a problem.” Just by glancing at him, Wang Yao knew that his uncle had just lied.
“You have indeed picked up a bad habit.” Wang Yao looked at his third uncle carefully.
Looking at his face, he was not in good spirits. He hadn’t drunk any less wine and probably hadn’t gotten any fewer women either. Wang Yao could smell the unique scent. His uncle’s breath was burning hot and smelled rotten. He smoked a lot.
